Notes About The Poem

 

 

Powder Keg

Another
       black man murdered 
            by cops,
              playing the role
                 of judge and jury.
                  The powder
                   keg they’ve
                   ignited
                  is set
                 to explode.
               For bigots
            flexing their muscles
          receive the protection
       of
corrupt lawmakers.
